Crystal Procuring In The 90s Was Enjoyable
Once I first received into the metaphysical properties of crystals there was no web. The world was a special place within the early 90’s. Individuals solely purchased their crystals from bricks and mortar outlets and there weren’t many locations that bought crystals.
More often than not these weren’t ‘Crystal Retailers’ however locations that bought different non secular and metaphysical gadgets. Again then, some individuals referred to as them “Hippie Retailers”.
They had been usually small and cluttered with incense, books, candles, jewelry, different garments, tarot, psychedelic posters and important oils. Wafts of incense, tinking windchimes, new age music – it was an expertise. The magic store from The Craft film was a reasonably correct depiction of the vibe.
My First Crystals Have been A Bit Uncommon…
I lived in a small seaside city and a store much like this had opened up. Close to the doorway, I noticed a small basket with a small choice of tumbled stones inside. They had been in little packets with an information card. If I recall accurately, they had been referred to as ‘Aroma Rocks‘. Every crystal had a lightweight frosted dry coating that contained pure important oil.
The oil was associated to the crystal’s properties. The thought was that you could possibly rub the crystal to launch and inhale the aromatherapy scent. Nonetheless, over time this could rub off and you’d simply be left with the crystal. The packets got here with a card explaining a number of key advantages of the stone and the oil.
I by no means noticed these crystals on the market once more anyplace else. However I discovered this merchandise listed on eBay that may very well be the identical firm. The packaging is totally different now and they’re utilizing a mix of important oils:
So I purchased a pair and I used to be hooked. I went again for a number of extra the following day on my manner residence from faculty… and once more till I had all six or seven stones. I can nonetheless keep in mind the scent of lavender and a lemon crystal.
Finally, I simply washed the crystals to take away the coating as I used to be extra into the crystal properties. It was way more discreet to simply carry a tumbled stone in my pocket.
My First Crystals Have been…
I’m afraid I now not have these unique crystals to indicate you. I gave all of them to a good friend within the early 2000’s. That could be a narrative for one more time. However I believe I can keep in mind most of them:

Snowflake Obsidian
Crimson Jasper
Tiger’s Eye
Botswana Agate
